A body found in the Feather River Sunday afternoon is missing Yuba College student Alycia Yeoman, according to the Sutter County Sheriff's Office.

At approximately 12:45 p.m. Sunday, the sheriff’s office says they recovered Yeoman’s body from the Feather River south of the Live Oak Recreational Park boat launch. The identity of the body was later confirmed through dental records.

The cause and manner of death is still under investigation, the sheriff's office said.

"We're trusting the investigation and looking for justice for Aly," said Aly Yeoman's family.

The 20-year-old had been last seen driving her car in Yuba City on March 30. The vehicle was found the next day in a Live Oak orchard, and her cell phone was later traced to an empty field behind a Yuba City Walmart three days after her disappearance was reported.

Yeoman’s family and friends said at the time they knew something was wrong when she missed two days of work. The Yuba College student worked at the McDonalds and Starbucks in Gridley.
